python-docx

I'm dealing with a problem trying to develop a web-app, part of which converts uploaded docx files to pdf files (after some processing). With python-docx and other methods, I do not require a windows machine with word installed, or even libreoffice on linux, for most of the processing (my web server is pythonanywhere - linux but without libreoffice and without sudo or apt install permissions). But converting to pdf seems to require one of those. From exploring questions here and elsewhere, this is what I have so far: import subprocess try: from comtypes import client except ImportError: client

I have a folder containing several .docx files with names [Code2001.docx, Code2002.docx... Code2154.docx] . I'm trying to write a script that will: Open each .docx file Append one line to the document; "This is checked" Save the .docx-file to another folder, named "Code2001_checked" After searching I've only managed to get the filename with the loop: import os os.chdir(r"E:......\test") for files in os.listdir("."): if files.endswith(".docx"): print filename I also found this: docx module but the documentation is poor to continue. Any suggestions on how to finish this script? from docx import

I want to extract text from word documents that were edited in "Track Changes" mode. I want to extract the inserted text and ignore the deleted text. Running the below code I saw that paragraphs inserted in "track changes" mode return an empty Paragraph.text import docx doc = docx.Document('C:\\test track changes.docx') for para in doc.paragraphs: print(para) print(para.text) Is there a way to retrieve the text in revisioned inserts (w:ins elements) ? I'm using python-docx 0.8.6, lxml 3.4.0, python 3.4, Win7 Thanks Not directly using python-docx ; there's no API support yet for tracked changes
